    No Hamas, no music festival massacre, 51 Palestinian murdered.

    I wonder what the Israeli apologist will say.

      The sad truth is they don’t have to say anything. This has been going on for decades, it’s nothing new really and everyone is turning a blind eye. If the whole world ignores it, you don’t even have to defend yourself, isn’t that marvellous?

      And the same thing applies here as everywhere else when it comes to Israel and Palestine. If you’re not explicitly pro Israel you’re an anti-Semite so your “opinion” doesn’t matter (even when there’s ample proof).

        Thats simply not right. The settle policy has been highly critized by the EU and the USA. The EU even sanctioned Israel for it.

        But if you complain about this kind of behavior of the Israeli government and the settlers, you are immediately called “aintisemite”. And whatever atrocities have been discussed in the UN security council again and again, the US always protected them with a veto.

      They are fighting. People are violently attacking the Israeli forces in an uprising. They are trying to set off explosives at the checkpoints in West Bank borders. Israel is trying to prepare for multifront attack against Lebanon, Iran and possibly Jordan.

      The way they see it, if they give up, the jews are slaughtered. They arent barging into peoples houses and randomly kidnapping/raping/killing people like Hamas has.

        Oh sorry, how many Palestinians have been killed in the West bank by peaceful settlers?

          You have to look at the situation as it is. The amount of people dying is attributed to their clashes not because the israelis are going out of their way to slaughter people.

            Really? I got a different impression of all the reports of settlers killing unprovoked Palestinians. Mind you, the relatives of the deceased rarely get any justice from the Israelian part for those killings.

              The israelis are propping up what are essentially tents in West Bank. Palestinians get angry. They get in eachothers faces. The Israeli forces come into to break it up. The Palestinians get in the militarys faces. They start attacking them and attacking the barracks for the checkpoints with firebombs. They get shot. “My baby would never do that” comes on tv. Pikachu face.

    I legit thought it was a misspelling of program but googled it just incase.

    Pogrom - an organized massacre of a particular ethnic group, in particular that of Jewish people in Russia or eastern Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

      It blows my mind that they went from pogroms to creating the Jewish Autonomous Oblast to try and appease Zionists.

    There is no hamas in the west bank by the way. That is run by the PLO. So there is no excuse for this but as others have said it’s not the first time this has happened. 😪
